IADT Degree Students —In The Making 1: MILK

In The Making 1: Milk

Jill Clinch, Oisín Donnelly, Sarah Hoffman, Hetty Lawlor, Sorche Ní Ríain, Sarah Partington, Vanessa Zelek

Milk brings together the work of degree year students from IADT’s BA in Art in the first of three exhibitions at Pallas Projects in February 2023.

Milk explores the mechanics of our physical and mental relations with the natural world. Milk itself is representative of the natural production and growth created to produce life. It is a culmination of the natural flow conceptually and literally that we see internally and in external attitudes towards organic form. Its fluidity is intertwined in life even after being grown, using energy to build physical form. Milk is the bridge between nature and nurture.

Exhibition event: ​On Friday 10 February 2023 at 2.30pm, Michael Hill (Temple Bar Gallery and Studios) will respond to the exhibition in conversation with IADT students. This informal event is open to the public.

In the making presents a taste of the future. For three weeks in February 2023, Pallas Projects provides an exciting platform for emerging art practices, hosting three consecutive exhibitions of new work by degree year students from IADT’s BA in Art. Conceived as an experiment in learning through exhibition-making, the project has been developed with guidance from PP/S co-curator Gavin Murphy and assistance from post-graduate students on IADT’s MA in Art & Research Collaboration (ARC). Each exhibition will provide an early-stage glimpse into the ideas, materials and techniques currently being researched and tested by the BA students and a valuable opportunity for them to extend their practices beyond the IADT studios.

In the making is conceived in three instalments, titled Milk, Butter, and Bread. A series of invited respondents have been asked to engage with a specific instalment and will be in conversation with IADT students as part of the exhibition’s public programme.

The three exhibition openings will take place from 6pm to 8pm, on Thursdays 9, 16 and 23 February 2023.

Each exhibition will also be open to the public on Fridays, 12–6pm, and Saturdays, 12–2pm. (Please note the earlier Saturday closing time).
